Jim Laslavic, a Chargers radio analyst from 1987-97, will return this season – sort of.

Laslavic, sports director at KNSD Channel 7/39 since 1989, will report from the sidelines, but only during home games. The broadcasts on KIOZ-FM (Rock 105.3) will go without a sideline voice for road games.

Josh Lewin and Hank Bauer return for their second season together as the Chargers' radio play-by-play voice and analyst, respectively. It previously was announced that Laslavic would host the pregame show each week.
